January feels like a fresh slate. We often focus on gym memberships, new diets, or reading lists, but one crucial aspect of our well-being frequently gets overlooked: our smiles. While hitting the treadmill is great, committing to your oral health sets the tone for a healthier year overall. At Harris Dental in Phoenix, AZ, led by the experienced team of Dr. Brian Harris and Dr. Scott Harris, we believe the beginning of the year is the perfect opportunity to hit the reset button on your dental care.
The Power of a Fresh Start
It’s easy to let dental appointments slide during the busy holiday season. Between travel, family gatherings, and year-end deadlines, scheduling a cleaning often falls to the bottom of the to-do list. But now that the calendar has turned, you have a golden opportunity to get back on track.
Re-prioritizing your dental health in January does more than just brighten your smile. It establishes a routine. By booking your appointments early in the year, you ensure you maximize your dental insurance benefits before things get hectic again. Being proactive now prevents small issues from becoming expensive, painful problems later in the year.
Proactive Care is Better Than Reactive Treatments
Proactive dental care prevents costly procedures, reduces treatment time, maintains oral health, and avoids emergencies, ultimately saving you both significant time and money in the long run
Many people only visit the dentist when something hurts. However, the philosophy at Harris Dental is centered on proactive care. Dr. Brian Harris and Dr. Scott Harris emphasize that prevention is always more comfortable and affordable than reactive treatment.
Regular check-ups allow us to catch potential issues early. A small cavity caught during a January screening is a simple fix. If left untreated until December, that same cavity could require a root canal or crown. By committing to proactive care now, you are investing in peace of mind for the rest of 2024.
The Critical Role of Cleanings and Screenings
Even if you brush and floss diligently at home, professional cleanings are non-negotiable for long-term health. Plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas that a toothbrush simply can’t clean effectively.
Professional cleanings at Harris Dental go beyond just polishing your teeth. They involve:
- Removal of stubborn tartar: Preventing gum disease and inflammation.
- Oral cancer screenings: Early detection is vital, and these quick checks can save lives.
- Gum health assessment: Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth.
Starting your year with a professional cleaning leaves you feeling refreshed and gives you a clean baseline to maintain throughout the months ahead.
